*-> Columbus Blue Jackets young goalie Steve Mason was placed on the IR Saturday after suffering from a viral infection while suffering from mono. He is expected to be out for atleast 2 weeks giving him time to recover.
*-> The Minnesota wild will happy to know that defenseman Kurtis Foster is almost ready to go. Foster who suffered a broken leg in a race for the puck will attempt to test out his leg in the AHL till hes ready to go. The Minnesota staff would not comment on how much longer he'll be but it is most likely going to be under 2 weeks.
*-> Tomas Vanek's of the Buffalo Sabres will be out 3 to 4 weeks with a fractured jaw suffered from a shot off the jaw. The Sabre's are going to be missing him severly and are expected to look on the market for a replacement so they may stay in the playoff picture. I guess Don Cherry's hockey gods theory was true after he said the hockey gods would get Buffalo for running up the score last week on Toronto while they had a rookie goalie Justin Pogge in net.
*-> Boston's Michael Ryder will be out for a week with a fractured bone in his cheek after being high sticked by Antoine Vermette in boston's shoot out win agains't Ottawa. This isn't a serious injured its just a precaution while they find out what Ryder has to do in order to return to action like wearing a face sheild or visor.
*-> Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators will be miss 3 to 4 weeks with a blown knee. Chris Neil who suffered the same injury last season suffered it again in a shoot out win over Buffalo Saturday night. Neil whose stock has risen over the past few weeks has once again dropped with this injury. The Sens are hoping to get him back in action before the deadline so they may attempt to get full value for him.

The I.R: Sunday Afternoon -> Kaberle Out
*-> Toronto's blueliner Tomas Kaberle will miss at least one month with a broken bone in his hand. After taking a shot off his hand during a game agains't Colorado. Brian Burke must be sweating after this one because this will seriously effect his chances of being able to trade Kaberle before the deadline. Kaberle is after all one of Toronto's few players that would fetch some value. Anton Stralman was recalled from the Toronto Marlies to take his place on the backend.
*-> The Columbus dispatch has reported that youngstar Steve Mason of the Bluejackets is/has been battling mono for the part month. The team has issued a statment saying that they will continue to play the goalie until he is unable to play. Could Columbus be in the market for another goalie to give their youngster a break?
*-> Fabian Brunnstrum the much anticipated free agent signing late last season has been recalled from the Manitoba Moose back to the Dallas Stars today after only one game in the AHL. Rumors has it that this was a wake up call to the forward to see if they can try and get him playing after barely getting noticed this season.
*-> Josh Gorges of the Montreal Canadians will be out a few games after that nasty head shot from Denis Gauthier Saturday afternoon. The Montreal brass has stated the injury is not due to the hit but another hit later on in the game after returning. Apparently he may be suffering from concussion like symptoms from the original hit. They say he should be back in action late this week, we'll see though how this progresses. Montreal has recalled Alex Henry and Ryan O'Bryne to replace him.

The I.R: Tuesday Evening
*-The New York Islanders have announced Rick DiPietro will miss the remainder of the season due to an ongoing problem with the knee surgery he had at the beginning of the season. The swelling refuses to go down so he will remain out and have another surgery on his knee. The Islanders are expected to go out and find some help till next season.
*Claude Lemieux completed an unbelievable comeback story tonight by returning to the NHL. Lemieux who is turning 46 who retired 4 years ago had no played hockey since this summer. He eventually earned a two way contract with the San Jose Sharks and tonight will mark his first game back. Incredible.
*Columbus goaltender Pascal Leclaire will be out 3 months with an undisclosed ankle injured. The Columbus goalie had surgery this afternoon to repair his ankle and is expected to make a quick recovery.
*Yet Another Columbus goalie is on the mend as of Tuesday. Goaltender Steve Mason has been suffering from severe back spasms and will miss the next 3 weeks. The Blue Jackets will not put him on the IR but rather just let him rest. He unfortunately will miss the youngstars game due to his condition.
